 An Independent Ireland councillor has dropped a legal challenge aimed at halting a gig by controversial punk-rap duo Bob Vylan in Dublin.

The outspoken UK band have been at the centre of attention in the wake of their Glastonbury performance last summer, where they led chants of “Death, death to the IDF" in reference to the Israel Defence Forces and the war in Gaza.
